    Frozen Food Portions

    I would not freeze lettuce but fruits and veggies would be fine. I cut up a mango and a papaya into small chunks and put it all in a freezer bag and just take out a chunk at a time as needed. No need to defrost as the heat within the enclosure warns it up quickly.

    Couple of redfoot questions

    Keep your CHE above the area where he sleeps so you know he'll be warm at night. even if the other end drops a few degrees at least you'll know his sleeping area is warm ZZZ :tort:

    My advice is to do lots of research. I researched for several months while deciding. Meantime, you can save up more money. Getting your basic set up ready takes money and time. BEFORE you adopt or purchase have your set up ready. Test everything to make sure your temps and humidity are correct...

    Redfoot Pinkies

    I give a little boiled egg yolk, the white has very little nutritional value. I've never had a bad reaction to the yolk.

    Baby RF biting me when hand feeding

    I got my baby rf about a month ago. One day I slowly put my hand down on the ground of his enclosure and he crawled over onto my pinky, sniffed me a little and walked away. It was cute. So I tried it again about a week ago and he test nibbled each of my fingers. Again, very cute. So I thought...

    Please help! Is my redfoot tortoise sick?

    I agree with the advice given thus far on diet suggestions and raising your temps. If he's not warm enough he prob won't eat much. He may also be adjusting to his new home which can take a while. Give a variety of fresh organic greens daily, let him get used to everything then sneak in...

    Sprout seeds, has anyone tried them?

    I get mine from the bulk bins at the natural food store nearby - very cheap and easy to grow. I sprout them in a glass jar and they're ready in about two days or so. I'll put a few in with his food then put the rest in the substrate to grow which gives his habitat a more naturalistic feel and...

    Coconut Oil

    People are trying this to see if helps to keep the carapace from drying out and to protect against shell rot on the plastron. Shininess is just an added bonus.

    Coconut Oil

    I just put the littlest bit into my palm and massage into my skin so there's just a very light coating on my hands. After my little tort gets done with his soak I rub my hands over both sides of his shell then gently wipe him with a paper towel. I've done this twice now about 5 days apart.

    You know you have a tortoise when...

    ... when the first thing you notice while looking at pix of other set ups is that they have the same thermometer as you! Lol! (You know which one I'm talking about - the $10 combo thermometer hygrometer from Home Depot)

    Covering will help to keep the heat in. Aluminum foil is a cheap way to do it.
